Basement Windows

Most basements are considered to be dark and gloomy. And for the most part, that is a very true statement, but that doesn't mean yours has to be. All that's needed is a little sunlight which can be let in by installing a new basement window. Doing so will help you say good-bye to awkward smells and that sense of confinement.

So what are the best basement windows and are there any special features that I should be looking for?

There are all sorts of windows for basements. The fact is, there is no special window just for basements. You can choose any style or configuration that will fit in the space allowed. If there is minimal space, certain windows will work better than others but with today's size options, your choices are not as limited as they used to be. Here are some things to take into consideration when choosing.

  • Unless you don't mind having holes cut into the foundation walls of your home or there is no other alternative, select a size and location where your window stays above ground level, even if more than one will be needed.
  • Pick one with high energy efficiency ratings to lessen heat loss and air infiltration, especially if it's at or below ground level and at the ceiling.
  • Though awning and hopper style windows work well in tight locations, a slider or double hung window is less likely to stick due to fallen debris.

"I can't believe the difference installing just one window has made to the way it looks and feels in our basement. We should have done this years earlier."
